Can drinking alcohol lead to obesity?
Yes, if you like drinking, do you think it is difficult to lose weight no matter how crazy you exercise on the beach? Alcohol contains a lot of calories, and many people unconsciously consume excess calories when drinking. It's certainly difficult to lose weight. According to the survey, people who drink regularly consume an average of 2000 calories per month more than those who don't drink regularly. You may not know how alcohol makes people fat. Is it really related to the high calorie of alcohol itself? Today, I will show you how alcohol affects obesity. Don't say I don't know, I was shocked when I said it. Let's see:
1 First of all, we should know that the products of alcohol metabolism will accelerate the accumulation of fat. The final product of alcohol metabolism is acetyl coenzyme A, which is rich in fatty acids and ultimately increases the storage of fat.
Secondly, it should be clear that alcohol will stop the supply of body fat. Experiments show that alcohol will replace fat to provide energy for human body, and the burning speed of fat is not sufficient; And stay in the human body for a long time, affecting the decomposition of fat.
Finally, do your job well and drink no more than four standard glasses a week. Although the more you drink, the stronger you get, but for your slimming dream, the best way is to limit your alcohol consumption. Although moderate drinking can bring health benefits such as lowering blood pressure, you should know that long-term excessive drinking will bring serious health consequences. For the sake of your beach figure, it is better not to drink at all.
Eight principles of not getting fat after drinking.
1, drink with white water. Drunkenness can cause nerve paralysis, leading to excessive drinking and overeating. Drinking alternately with water will reduce the alcohol intake by half, dilute the body, help alcohol metabolism, accelerate the metabolism in the body, excrete alcohol in time, reduce the burden on the liver, and effectively prevent the hangover the next day.
2. Drink coffee before dinner. There are many suggestions to drink milk first and then to protect the liver and nourish the stomach. In fact, coffee is also a good choice. Coffee can promote liver function, dissolve neutral fat and prevent fatty liver. With proper pre-meal exercise, you can improve your body's metabolic ability and burn some fat in your body.
3. Take a sip of wine at a time, and take the next sip after 2 minutes. Unlike eating, once you drink on the wine table, it is difficult to grasp the amount of alcohol. After three rounds of drinking, the calorie intake far exceeds the ability of the liver load. Therefore, it is necessary to control the speed of drinking to prevent excessive drinking and nervous paralysis caused by constant toasting. Take a sip of wine, stay for about 2 minutes after each sip, and then take another sip of wine. Drinking slowly can sense whether you are full, prevent excessive drinking and control your appetite, killing two birds with one stone.
4. Follow the order of eating vegetables → staple food. Staggered banquets are easy to be tempted by delicious food and inadvertently overeat. Follow the dietary rules, first choose vegetables rich in plant fiber, which can promote the decomposition and absorption of alcohol and sugar, reduce drunkenness and prevent the formation of fat. Then protein, try to avoid carbohydrates such as rice, and if necessary, eat a small amount at the end of the party.
5, beer consumption control in a cup. Beer contains a lot of sugar that can be converted into fat. Because of its low alcohol content, it is easier to drink, and there will be no sense of drunkenness one after another, but the intake of sugar and calories is already extremely high. Coupled with the calories of appetizers, excessive drinking can easily lead to obesity. One cup is appropriate. If you can't enjoy yourself, you can enjoy yourself with 2~3 cups of soft drinks.
6, pay attention to the staple food mix, the right amount. At the banquet, while controlling the calorie intake, don't forget to care for the liver and choose a recipe that can help the liver digest. Seafood foods such as squid, squid and shellfish contain taurine, which can help the liver digest. At the same time, animal liver is rich in vitamin B group, which is also very beneficial to health. Dietary suggestions are based on light taste, and a small amount of food with heavy taste such as curry can be taken to neutralize it.
7, prefer cocktails, pay attention to the amount of drinking and drinking methods. Cocktails are sought after by many women because of their high sugar content and soft taste. Many people think that drinking cocktails will not lead to drunkenness, so they regard it as a drink and drink it in large quantities. In fact, many cocktails are made of sweet spirits, and when mixed with fruit juice, one glass will contain very high calories, which will make you unconsciously indulge in the alcohol trap. Therefore, in order to avoid excessive calorie intake and obesity, choose a lighter cocktail to protect the liver, taste it slowly, and it is best to sip it.
8, to prevent "false appetite", eat warm soup to reconcile. After drunkenness, the sensory ability is reduced, and it is easy to produce "false appetite". Constantly drinking and eating at the same time will cause the burden on the stomach and liver, excessive calorie intake, fat accumulation and obesity. To avoid this situation, you can choose foods with low calories and easy satiety. Compared with rice and Lamian Noodles, low-calorie warm soup is a very good choice, which can not only satisfy the stomach, but also raise the body temperature and promote metabolism. You can choose shellfish and other ingredients that have protective effects on the liver.
Effects of alcohol on health
1. Unconscious overeating. Although drinking alone won't cause excessive calorie intake, when you recall drinking with your family and getting drunk with your friends, when did you eat mutton kebabs, fried chicken, fried peanuts and snacks? Wine can stimulate appetite particularly effectively. All kinds of snacks are in front of us. We can talk while eating and drinking. Unconsciously, two or three hours passed. Who knows how many high-calorie things you have eaten during this period!
2. Reduce the speed of fat metabolism and muscle synthesis. When alcohol is catabolized, it will disrupt the metabolic law of the liver, increase the synthesis of fat and decrease the oxidation, which will lead to the "excretion disorder" of fat and lead to the accumulation of fat in the human body and viscera with poor diet structure. In addition, studies have shown that drinking alcohol after training significantly reduces the speed of myofibril synthesis.
3. The risk of training injury is greatly increased, and the recovery effect of muscles and nerves is affected. Within a few days after drinking, the heart function will be affected, the spirit will not be easy to concentrate, the body will be tired, and the blood flow will increase during training, which greatly increases the risk of injury. Because of the influence of alcohol on the hormone level in the body, the recovery time of the body is greatly prolonged after training, which reduces the recovery ability of the body's muscles and nerves, and the effect of subsequent training will be greatly reduced.
4. Long-term excessive drinking leads to poor physical fitness. Needless to say, long-term drinking is harmful to the liver, stomach and heart. Visceral function degradation, high risk of cancer, inhibition of the central nervous system, weakening memory, visual perception, language ability and motor coordination. What's more, a trainer may not be able to train because of physical problems.
